Frequently Asked Questions

Q:  Why do I need an attorney?

A:  Simply put, it is the State of Minnesota versus you.  The State made the "rules", knows the "rules", and will use the "rules" to try and prevail.  You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to counter the advantages the State inherently has on its side.

There is an old legal saying: "He who represents himself has a fool for a client." 

A prosecutor's job is not to help you.  A prosecutor is not looking out for your interests.  You need someone who knows how the criminal justice system works and how to navigate you successfully through it.   You need someone to stand up for you in the complex world called the court of law.

If you care about how your case turns out, then the answer is yes.
